Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) is committed to creating an inclusive education system that inspires and enables all students to achieve success and fulfillment. English Chinese Bilingual programming is complex and multifaceted. It provides a rich environment for the learning of languages, cultures and subject-area content. English Chinese Bilingual education strives to provide intensive language learning environments, with the potential for high academic achievement and enriched cultural experiences that maximize student opportunities for learning. The commonalities between the English Language Arts Framework and the Chinese Language Arts Framework facilitate an integrated, contextualized approach to language learning. The five general outcomes are that students will listen, speak, read, write, view, and represent in English and Chinese to

1. 1. explore thoughts, ideas, feelings, and experiences,
   2. comprehend and respond personally and critically to oral, print, visual, and multimedia texts,
   3. manage ideas and information,
   4. enhance the clarity and artistry of communication, and
   5. celebrate and build community

 These essential language learnings, that are common to both English language programming and Chinese language programming, support and promote a collaborative and integrated approach to language instruction. We recognize that parents play an important role in shaping the way their children view learning. As a parent, you understand more than anyone else how your child learns and processes information. This resource will provide you with an overview of several subjects which your child will study.
